Hello BP Nation!  

U.S. News and World Report, the global authority in rankings and consumer advice, recently named Fort Myers as the #1 place to retire in 2020! (Fort Myers ranked #2 last year.) U.S. News completed a comprehensive evaluation of the country's 125 largest metro areas based on how well they meet Americans' expectations for retirement, including housing affordability, desirability, health care, job market strength, and overall happiness (no kidding, it's in the article).

The irony, if you did into the census from 2010 forward the highest percentage of growth was in the 30 to 40 range. It is companys relocating employees and managers to serve the growing retiree base.
